W4: Evolutionary Perspectives on CognitionOur behaviors are affected by many factors, including the way in which we receive and process information. The knowledge, awareness, and perceptual processes we have can all be influenced by both external and internal occurrences. Albert Ellis, in his discussion of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, provides us with food for thought in understanding how our internal discussions, or self-talk, serve as a buffer in behavioral change at the emotional level. From an evolutionary perspective, behavior may develop from knowledge, awareness, perception, labeling, and retention, among other forces.share your thoughts on how the Theory of Evolution helps one develop and change over time.In addition, discuss how you identify changes you have seen in your development, noting the specific theory that is most closely related to your developmental changes.

Gloria caught him coming home and smelled alcohol on his breath and marijuana on his clothes. Gloria is shocked and appalled by her son’s recent behavior and grounded him for two weeks.Gloria comes to you because she needs some advice on how to handle her son’s poor choices. Using what you have learned about the adolescent brain and social development in Chapter 3 of the webtext, answer the questions below to help Gloria understand why her son is making such poor choices, and pose some recommendations to help her solve her problem:1. What physically happens to teen brains that make it difficult for someone like Gary to weigh risk and reward?2. In addition to their brains changing, teens change socially too. Why may Gary value his peers more than his mom?3. What specific strategies or advice would you recommend that Gloria can do to help her son to make better decisions?4.

How can understanding her feelings help you offer constructive advice?InstructionsUse theCase Study #1 Assignment Templateto record your responses.
